Manual color options ● Halftone options affect the color output resolution and clarity. ● Smooth provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas and enhances photographs by smoothing color gradations. Select this option when uniform and smooth area fills are the top priority. ● Detail is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, or images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Select this option when sharp edges and details are the top priority. ● The Neutral Grays setting determines the method for creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and photographs. ● Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color cast. This setting is best for documents and grayscale viewgraphs. ● 4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to other colors, and it produces the darkest black. ● The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge control has two components: adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by overlapping the edges of adjacent objects slightly. ● Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on. ● Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is on. ● Light sets trapping at a minimal level, Adaptive halftoning is on. ● Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning. 16

Manual color options
Halftone
options affect the color output resolution and clarity.
Smooth
provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas and enhances
photographs by smoothing color gradations. Select this option when uniform
and smooth area fills are the top priority.
Detail
is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines
or colors, or images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Select this
option when sharp edges and details are the top priority.
The
Neutral Grays
setting determines the method for creating gray colors
used in text, graphics, and photographs.
Black Only
generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black
toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color cast. This setting is best for
documents and grayscale viewgraphs.
4-Color
generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner
colors. This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to other
colors, and it produces the darkest black.
The
Edge Control
setting determines how edges are rendered.
Edge control has two components: adaptive halftoning and trapping.
Adaptive halftoning increases edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the
effect of color-plane misregistration by overlapping the edges of adjacent
objects slightly.
Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on.
Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is on.
Light sets trapping at a minimal level, Adaptive halftoning is on.
Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.
